V Specification of Letters Patent. 1 Patented Mar. 9, 1920.

Application filed October 20, 1919. Serial No. 332,052.

To all whom it may concern: 7

.Be it known that I, ORPHA MAE KLINKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles, State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Dolls, of which the following is a specification. V

In the present invention a doll is provided by the combination'of a spoon, a dishmop, a floor-mop, a dishcloth and a dustcloth. The doll provided by the combinationof these elements or articles is nOtonly an attractive and durable toy, but is also capableof being easily taken apart so'that the various parts may be used for their designed purposes. w I

A particular feature of the doll is the extreme simplicity of arrangement and construction. None of the parts or articles .used in the doll are'alteredor injured by their use 1n the combmatmn.

A further feature of theinventionisits cost. The articles out of which the. doll is made are inexpensive and at the same time vention will be readily understood from the following detailed description of a preferred form of the invention in which reference is had to the acoompanyingdraw ings in which-- p Figure 1 is a sectional View through the doll showing clearly the arrangement of the various partsyand Fig. 2 is a front View of the doll with the-hidden part shown in dottedline s.

In the drawings numeral 10 designates the spoon which is preferably a wooden spoon comprising ahandle 11 and'a bowl 12. The handle '11 is preferably a straight lround handle while the bowl 12- is preferably an ordinary shaped bowl. The spoon 10 is set so that the inner or concave so as vto form the head of the doll. I

swab '17 being made of strings has the genthe outer or convex portion 14 of the bowl faces outwardly. The outer or convex portion 1 1 of the bowl 12 forms the face of the doll. The features, such as the eyes, nose, mouth, etc, of the face may be painted directly on the surface 14: or they may be printed, painted, or (stamped) on a piece of paper which may be pasted or attached to the surface 1 1. The surface 14 being convex is particularlywelladapted to form the face of the doll. i

v A dishmop 15 comprising-a handle 16 and swab 17" is'lashed or tied to the spoon 1'0 bymeans' of cord 18. The swab 13011101117 of the 'dishinop comprises a bundle of string Vwhi ch is bound to the end of the handle 16 by means of binding cord 19. Although it is preferred to use the form of dishmop shown in the drawings, the invention is not ,limitedto this particular form of mop as any similarly constructed mop couldjbe ,used in this connection. The dishmop 15 is lashed or bound to the spoon handle so that the handle 16' is parallel with" the handle 11 and the portion of the dishmop' mans PATENT anion.

wherethe swab is connected to the, handle V is opposite the bowl of; the spoon as shown in Fig. 1 The strings which form the swab i 17 are draped or arranged so that part of them extend over and coverthe end ofbowl 12 as clearly shown in the drawings, while the rest of them are draped or arranged eral appearance of being hair when ar- The ranged as just described. In order to prevent disarrangement -of the swab 17' a ribbon 20 is wrapped around it andv tied'so as tofo'rm a bow 21 as clearly shown in the drawings The ribbon 20 as welljas'holding the swab 17 in placeacts as a hair ribbon which adds to the beauty of the doll.

A floor slasher or mop 22' comprising a.

bunch of] small strings or thread tied or bound together at 23 is wrapped around the.

handlesfll and 16 so as to form thelcody of'the doll. The; portion 23 of the'mop 22 is preferably "placed around the handle so as tobe at the top/or near the bowlilil and thereby form the-shoulders of the doll.

It is also preferred thatthe portion 23 of the mop22 be placed around the handlesll and 16 so that ibis passed around the back of the" doll but does not 1 pass completely around the front, in other words,ithe portion 23 is arranged so that'it does not coini i and also does not impair the dustcloth in the 7 pletely encircle the handles 11 and 16 (this is clearly shown in the drawings). The loose threads which hang downwardly from the portion 23 are arranged so as to com pletely surround the handles 11 and 16 and thereby cover them. The threads which comprise the mop 22 are all approximately of the same length and when draped are arranged around the handles 11 and 16 shown in the drawings form a skirt for the doll. The floorm'op 22 is held in place in relation to the spoon and dishmop by a cord which is bound around said mop substantially at the Waist of the doll. The cord 24% being bound around the mop 22 at the waist of the doll not onlyholds the hoop firmly in place but also adds to the shapelincss of the doll.

A duster or dustcloth 25 is held between the cords 24: and the fioormop 22 at the front of the doll so that it will hang downwardly over the front of the mop 22 so as to form an apron. The dust rag 2 5;which is preferably a loosely woven or soft cloth, such as cheese-cloth is arranged so that it is ol double thickness and it may be gathered at the top so that a cloth of considerable size can be used. It may also be of single thickness but a large square piece of clothinay be folded over the cord that extends around the waist and then the cloth may be pushed together to the front to give the effect of gathering, thus making it easier to assemble least. Although it is preferred that the dustcloth 25 be arranged to extend across the front of the doll only and that it arranged so that it does not extend to the bottom of the floor-mop 22 it will be understood 2. The dish cloth 27 being wrapped around 50.

the upper portion of the bodyxof the doll completely covers the portion 23 of the floormop and the cord 24 which holds said mop in place. It is preferred that the dishcloth be arranged around. the doll so that it has a portion 28 which will extend slightly under the portion of the swab 17 which forms the back of the head of the-doll. Then the ,dishcloth is arranged in this manner both the spoon 10 and the handle ofthe dishmop cannot be seen from the back of the doll; The dishcloth 27 may be lightly sewed or bastedto thefloormop 22 at several points,

but-it is preferred that it be lightly sewed or basteditogeth'er where it overlaps at the jfrontofjthe 9101 J It has been found in practice that the 'various articles out of which the doll is formed, although all light in color vary somewhat in shade, for instance, the dishcloth although white is not exactly the same shade as the dustcloth and the floor-mop is still another shade. This slight contrast in color of the various articles or parts of the doll greatly add to the appearance of the doll. Although it is preferred that the rarious articles be left in their natural state, that is, not colored it will be understood that the various parts could be colored with dyes,

that would readily wash out, and thereby greatly add to the attractiveness of the doll.

Having described a preferred form in which the invention may be embodied, I do not wish-to limit myself to the details as hereinabove set forth, but wish to reserve to myself any changes or variations that may fall within the scope of the following claims.
